Maybe next time you could make mutilated, armless Congolese into Star Trek characters with King Leopold II as Q? Or maybe the Sudan conflict as a West Side Story dance-off? How about Kim Jong Un as Mario going from North Korean prison camp to North Korean prison camp with the message "Your meal is in another castle" because they're starving and eating their own children and he's fat? So silly hahahaha!

Sure, and this looks a lot like this
I mean, they're both wearing lyrca dresses covered in rhinestones, flesh-covered tights, white skates, and they're both standing on one leg with the other one extended at a greater than 90 degree angle. Clearly Tonya Harding copied Nancy Kerrigan!

Ashely Wagner, the 2013 U.S. National Champion:
As it turns out, female figure skaters tend to wear white skates, rhinestoned lyrca dresses and flesh-colored tights (in competition), and extend one leg up while skating on the other leg. Technically, I suppose they're all copying Sonja Henie, but she forgot to trademark rhinestones. Can you imagine the royalties she'd get from Toddlers and Tiaras if she had?!?

Oh how I love the overly dramatic. Get yourself a crown! Anyway, I don't know how figure skating fits into all this. Tonya Harding/Nancy Kerrigan? really? the 1990s? That's what you came up with?

So, your image is on the order of 900x900, which is probably why you were having issues. Best thing is to export/scale/crop to get it to 602x602. This will keep the aspect ratio correct so it doesn't get all wonky. Also, you doing the scaling guarantees the scale quality vs. relying on the Woot auto-scaler.
Your PNG should then be on the order of 200k. Thumbnail should be likewise 186x186 for about a 50k file size.

I was typing when you posted this. I hope that you read my response, which has some historical context for what this means in the U.S. However, I also want you to know that I hadn't seen your response when I wrote mine; I wasn't trying to "pile on."

I am, actually. But I didn't think about it until after I started working on this. At that point I tried to make sure to not have it be similar, outside of being about an apathetic group. even though there was no intent to copy or mimic, I maybe should have scrapped the idea at the point that I recognized a similarity.

Please see neuropsychosocial's tonya harding/nancy kerrigan overly-dramatic-explanation above about similarities in art design. She has it all under control and all figured out. No worries.

Want one?! I must have one!! I do most of my editing in my mind unless the error is so egregious I must speak out! My specialty, people who use words they don't know the meaning of! Oops! Did I just write a sentence ending in a preposition... Oh no!!! The embarrassment.

Love it! Love it! Love it! At last some artistes who have acknowledged my fave complaint about the internet: we've raised a bunch of illiterate Miltons. (Are they more or less dangerous than the literate Miltons?)
